2.1 General Description
The Gigabyte GN-GSV2401 is a powerful, high-performance, Fast Ethernet
switching hub, which acts as traffic controller for 24 local routes and 2 highways to
connect your networks to other outside networks.
With all 24 ports capable of 10 or 100 Mbps auto-negotiation operation (NWay)
and 2 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports, the switching hub can automatically negotiate
with the connected partners for the network speed and duplex mode. It is ideal for
micro-segmenting large networks into smaller, connected subnets for improved
performance, enabling bandwidth-demanding multimedia, imaging and database
applications. Moreover, the 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ability provides an easy
way to migrate 10Mbps to 100 Mbps network with ease. Compared to the shared
10Mbps or 100Mbps networks, the switching hub delivers a dedicated
10/100Mbps connection to every attached client with no bandwidth congestion
issues and the most cost-effective way to invest in your network’s performance in
the long run.
Store-and-forward switching mode guarantees low latency, plus eliminates all
network errors, including runt and CRC error packets. To work under fullduplex
mode, transmission and reception of the frames can occur simultaneously without
causing collisions, as well as doubling the network bandwidth.
The switching hub using plug-n-play without needing any software to configure,
and is also fully compliant with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the
abundant diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel provide the operating status of
individual ports and the entire system.
